Each of us has different situations, thoughts, choices, emotions, joys and sorrows. . . However, in the era of industrialization, school education mirrored the economic batch model of industrialized centralized logistics: ringtones, classes, standardized classrooms, unified teaching materials, and assembly line scenes arranged according to time. This kind of education "produces" usable talents in a standardized way for the industrial age, while ignoring the differences of each individual. If I could turn back time, maybe I would miss my college days, or maybe give myself a slap in the face at that time to wake up my ignorance at that time. . . I am very fortunate that I did not continue on the path that capital arranged for me. This gave me the opportunity to participate in the IT digital transformation project of the world's most famous consulting company. Their ideas and structure allowed me to work as a consultant for many years. . . Zheng Wenjie left his hometown because of Zheng Wenlong's college dream. . .

Two Ming Dynasty novels: Overlord is a double-wearing plug-in that can be used to rub hands and carry some things. Grandfather is a pure time travel, and there are no special plug-ins except for modern people's cognition. If you are a Tomato reader who has the patience to read less, at least it is well written and logically clear, but there is a suspicion of copying. I have seen a similar opening chapter in the orphanage before. Then there is the American TV series City with Western magic. The plug-in of Pig's Knuckle is that it can absorb the ghost abilities that are stored in the pages of the book in the brain, and it can also learn abilities on its own. It is a pornographic film.
